First Third-Party 30-pin Lightning Adapter Is Available On Amazon

First third-party 30-pin Lightning adapters just appeared on Amazon. The manufacturer is the company called Nanotech that is now offering pre-orders for them. There was some concern when a recent report said Apple would be the exclusive manufacturer of 9-pin adapters at a price of $10 each, but this rumor looks to be false.

Nanotech listed the following features:

• Lightning cable adapter for newest generation of Apple products.
• Adapter to use your new Apple products with older accessories.
• Use your iPhone 5 with older models of accessories.
• 20cm cord.

There was controversy during first several hours of the new iPhone 5 pre-orders as Apple’s Store website stated that iPhone 5 comes with a 30-pin adapter. Apple quickly removed this error, but it confused some buyers in the process and brought up a question: should Apple give a free 30-pin adapter to customers who expected to receive it with iPhone 5 which they purchased.
